PS/nVision – Key Terms • Trees – Specifies how your data should be summarized or rolled up for reporting purposes. • TableSet – Contains the rules by which data is processed. The BU contains all the actual data and a setID identifies each TableSet. • Business Unit – Uses SHARE setID • Account – Uses SHARE setID • Department – Specific setID for each BU (This is why only certain depts are valid for certain BU’s)
PS/nVision – Key Terms • Layout – The report you want to run • Scope – Who you want to run the report for. Your parameters (Consolidated, BU and or Departments) • Report Request – Attaches a layout and scope to run your report for user specified As Of Date • Process Monitor – Check status of Report Request • Report Manager – One option to pull up delivered reports • Report Console – 2nd option to pull up reports • Drill to PIA – Excel Drill Down (PeopleSoft Internet Architecture) • Nplosion – Detail within the report (number 2 button)
PS/nVision Layouts • During design phase Symphony stakeholders identified what standard reports would be built for all HM’s. • Layout is an Excel Template with specified report parameters. • Layouts can’t be modified or changed. If a HM wants something changed they would have to submit a Service Request and Goverance Team would have to approve. • Inventory of Layouts (Reports) including report samples and job aids can be found on AHU website on the Peoplesoft Report Catalog page. http://ascensionstcs.adayana.net/courses/Symphony%20UPK/Report_Catalog/ReportCatalog.html
PS/nVision Layouts • PS/nVision reports are built using Excel developer tool, based on a request for a report. HM’s will not have access to this tool. • There are check figures within most reports. If an error message shows up please log a service now incident ticket with the Peoplesoft Reporting team. • If you unhide Column A and Row 1 you will see the report logic (tree nodes, time spans, etc.) • nVision only pulls data at the intersection of defined logic in a row and column. You can drill down into the details of these intersections. You cannot drill down on anything calculated by a formula.
PS/nVision Scopes • Scope – Who you want to run the report for. Common Scope definitions include (there are others): • Consolidated Ministry • Business Unit – All Departments • Business Unit – Department Tree Node • Business Unit – Selected Department • PS/nVision Scopes use the BU SetID. • (Remember TableSet) – MDS Business Rule for departments. • PeopleSoft PS/nVision Scope Job Aid Available on AHU website on the Peoplesoft Report Catalog page: http://ascensionstcs.adayana.net/courses/Symphony%20UPK/Report_Catalog/ReportCatalog.html

Scope Summary • Standard scopes have been set up for all BU’s using the standard BU and Dept trees.

Drill to PIA – Excel Drill Down Add In Within an Excel report that you ran through Report Request, you can drill down into the details for further information using the Drill To Pia Excel Add In Tool. Notice the unhidden Column A and Row 1 which shows the nVision report logic (normally hidden). You can drill into the individual account details which were nPloded (#2) or the account node totals since those were populated by the nVision process (Column B, C, P, Q. Rows 18 thru 40). You can not drill into anything calculated by a formula (Column D, E, R and Row 41).
PS/nVision – Common Issues • Scope BU is not the same as Report Request BU. • User did not check scope before running report and scope is not what they were wanting. • Within the report request someone changed the preferred settings of Web/Excel. When that happens the report will still show as success but will not show up in Report Manager. • User did not validate report results by drilling down after the report was ran. • User inserted or deleted rows or columns which can throw of the drill down functionality results. • If getting error message and everything checks it means the server is down and you should log a ticket. • Most users just know how to pull up report request and hit the run button. Super Users will need to assist!!
Reporting - QUESTIONS???? I need help! I better call the AHIS help desk at 877–635–0535 and log a Request ticket with the Peoplesoft Reporting team. This report is not working as designed or I got an error message. Make it an Incident ticket! I sure do love all of these reports, but maybe anew report or enhancement could benefit all the Ministries. I should open a Request ticket to see if it gets approved!
